Battle of the Eyeliners - Round 1: Loreal Super Liner VS Essence Superfine Eyeliner

HELLOOOOOOOO EVERIBARDEI.

Long time no see! School started and sucked everything once again. After completing this post, I'm back to the enormous pile of drawings that I should be starting on. Anyway, CNY is coming up, and I really don't want my relatives telling me that I've gained weight over the past year. It's really really a mood spoiler and it will probably result in me eating every pineapple tart in hesitation - HOW COULD THEY!?

So yes, I've been running (again -_-), although not very religiously, ever since the year started, and thought that 'hey, it'd be a good time to try out the fade resistance of some of the eyeliners!' I find that sometimes, the insane weather makes walking home from school, feels like I just ran a marathon. So, why not let's exploit the chance of leisure running, and test out the fade resistance of the eyeliners!

And the first two contestants are.....

Loreal Super Liner Black Laquer VS Essence Superfine Eyeliner Pen

BEFORE running:

So, I simply applied a slight winged eyeliner, with Essence on the left, and Loreal on the right. I didn't apply anything prior to the eyeliner, so this is tested based directly on my bare skin. I applied sunblock on my face, but I excluded the eye area.

AFTER running:

TADA! No smudges to both, I must say that they both did really well for the test. I wasn't expecting much of a change with Loreal's, but am pleasantly surprised with Essence. :) I usually apply Essence on a daily basis - to school. However if I intend to hang out after class with my friends for dinner/movies, I'll apply Loreal to save me the hassle of touching up and all that.

However, while bathing, I realised that Essence came off really easily with warm water, whereas Loreal stayed put until I gently rubbed it off. Funny how Essence managed to withstand heat and facial oil, but lost with lukewarm water! So, no Essence for sobfest movies or dramas!

Loreal Super Liner Black Laquer - $21.90 SGD
Essence Superfine Eyeliner Pen - $7.90 SGD (definitely less than $10!)

Essence brand make up can only be found in major Watson's store. I got mine from Bedok Central, and saw that Parkway has them too, so check their stuff out :)

OOTD?

I have no idea what that means... but owell... :p

BUTTTT! the anal lecturer actually sent someone to go collect at 5 pm sharp omgg.... so there was this geeky/nerdy (BEYOND WORDS) guy collecting all the assignments from the box....

My group mates managed to get the proj into the box while the girls were at it hehe...

I went home to change and all after the submission and hit the town with my uni mates! ^.^ The smell of fresh air and traffic jams.... How have i missed u.....

New series!

Because we have been so uninspired to blog, we've decided to include our Outfits Of The Day (OOTD)! Looking at how we, ahem, wear clothes everyday, we thought that it might be a good idea to document outfits that we feel, looks presentable, nice (for the lack of better word), decent, interesting or theme-like. As we both are students, we're pretty modest in dressing up as well.

As compared to beauty-related products, this will be easier to keep up because fashion is recyclable, but not for the beauty products! Also, we don't exactly wear a tonne of different make up to school and we probably stick with one look (or sometimes - no look) all the time.

And now that somebody has blonde hair, she is can officially act dumb without getting the stares from me. Hahaha.

Oh and for the Finished-Products-In-A-Month series, I have not been updating it........... because I haven't been completing stuff, like WTH right?! But I do have some completed stuff for September though! :) So stay tuned, whoever is around!


And one last thing, pardon the webcam quality of the pictures first. I'm just a little too lazy to grab the tripod and snap narcissistic shots of myself at the moment. 

Summary:
- Finished-Products-In-A-Month
- Outfits Of The Day (OOTD)

Till then,
nette!

FPOTM: June 2011

Hi everybody!

Because I have simply too much stuff (I find, that is), I have decided to come up with this Finished-Products-In-A-Month Challenge. Which is simply to post up pictures and reviews of the items that I have completed in that particular month. The objective is pretty simple, that is to use items on a regular basis (read: religiously) to complete them. And also to generate some posts for this blog. Oh, of course, to curb my boredom before school starts!

To start of the end of a mid year: Finished Products for June 2011!

I knowww, only 4 products. But I only thought of this challenge thingy around midweek. So I hope I have more stuff in July !

1. Mandom Cleansing Express - Brighten & Moist.
This is somewhat like a toner that claims to brighten(blue)/moist(white) your skin as you apply them throughout the days. I got them in sample size and I practically took forever to use them up. I brought them to Taiwan last year, but the moisturising properties weren't enough for the sudden change in climate I believe. My face still flaked and I came back to Singapore with a very crispy nose. Hahahah. I think they're pretty alright. Nothing fanciful or outta the world but does it job's just good. Oh, it's really great for lazy people (ie: Me), especially when you're all dead tired from a long hectic day. Just slather the white bottle (moist) product on your face and you're good to concuss. And when you're awake, after your cleansing, just slather on the blue bottle (brighten). I usually do that ;)


2. The Face Shop - Quick & Clean Sebum Control Toner.
I like this alot! But it's pretty expensive at a price of $24.90 - especially so when I used this up within 2 & half months or so? I use this twice a day and I really like how well it picks up dirt and all that excess dead skin on the surface of my face. It's lemongrass scented (naturally) and I really like how refreshing it feels on my skin. I initially thought that it's probably just another Toner, but it has proved otherwise with my skin reacting positively towards it. My mini pimples have definitely gotten smaller and less inflamed - thus healing faster. I guess that's where the sebum control part work! :)

3. Beauty Formulas - Cucumber & Avocado Facial Scrub (Refreshing)
I got this because the local watson's ran out of my other staple facial scrub. It wasn't a bad substitute. It's mild cleansing properties allowed me to use it daily without scrubbing my entire face off. I love the whipped cream texture of this scrub & it's my daily exfoliator. As compared to certain brands, the microbeads aren't too many - I prefer more of those microbeads because they're like equivalent to how much scrubbing your face is gonna get. It's like a psychological thing I believe. Hahhaa. This entire tube costs less than $8 and it lasted me for a good year.

That's all for June! Busy month, and I think July is gonna be worst - I foresee some shopping for school (excuses)

PS: Cynthia you should do this too! You have too many!
